The Elite Consulting Mind

The book review for this week is The Elite Consulting Mind by Michael Zipursky.

In this book on setting yourself up for success in the consulting world, Zipursky details his thoughts, techniques, mindsets, and philosophies around setting up a successful consulting business. Although I did not find any great pearls of wisdom, the book contains a lot of solid consulting advice.

My takeaway from this book is Zipursky’s 16 mindsets listed below:

1. MINDSET, ACTION, RESULTS
2. CONFIDENCE CREATES SUCCESS
3. EARNING PREMIUM FEES
4. FACING THE UNCOMFORTABLE
5. WORRY WELL
6. OUTREACH IMPERFECTED
7. OFFERING YOUR EXPERTISE
8. WHERE YOUR BELIEFS COME FROM
9. FINDING THE BEST MODEL
10. SMALLTOWN WHEREVILLE
11. YOU’RE TOO OLD & TOO YOUNG
12. THE POWER OF SAYING NO
13. SUPERMAN & SUPERWOMAN
14. SIMPLIFY YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS
15. YOUR PRESENT CREATES YOUR FUTURE
16. MIRRORING SUCCESS
